It’s like that saying, ‘where have you been all my life’ but actually meaning it.
That’s exactly the way I feel about medical cannabis.
I’ve found that my whole life is changed thanks to a chance cannabis dispensary event. Had I not been in that space at the right time, I don’t know if I would have ever really considered medical marijuana for my anxiety. The fact is that by the time that I ended up at the cannabis dispensary event, I was really sort of resigned to a life with crippling anxiety. I actually ended up at this cannabis dispensary event because someone was giving me a ride. They were a friend of my sister who is the one who normally gave me rides to therapy. My anxiety was so severe that I really didn’t feel comfortable driving so I didn’t even have a car. This friend urged me to just come inside and listen about the medical marijuana benefits. I don’t know how I got the courage to do it but I did. And I met someone who instantly locked on to the fact that I was suffering with terrible anxiety and depression. That’s because she could see her former self in me. This total stranger then proceeded to give me some medical marijuana facts that would go on to just change my life. And she was so kind, compassionate and caring. That’s what I think really ended up getting through to me. I was just mesmerized by her caring and that motivated me figure out how to get a medical marijuana card. Once that happened and I got the first bit of cannabis flower product from the legal weed store, I was on my way.
